The report of the special committee on

Kins and the report was accepted and
adopted. 1t reads rs follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen:
The special committee to whom was re-
fcrred the establishment of "a market day re-
spo cttully report that IN our opinion the City
Council should at once enact proper Ord
nanCcs regulating, taxing, licensing. or pro-
hibting. peddliuE within the city of timer
ant vendors and non producers from outside
towns Also to regulate pcddling within the
city.
That the present city market buildings and
grounds can be improved in appearance and
u-efulness with comparatively little expense
and when SO imp owed they will be of great
service for market purposes
In our opinion the removal of the pre-. cnt
market building, and the erection of II city
horse barn on the premises will not only ht
| a great damage to the city, but will greatly
/ EN- la rrass the Board of trade in the cStab
! lishmcnt of Il marhct day.
| 1t is our opinion that market day will b'
! of great benefit to our city, and to all prOdu
| GERS who come from towns in the vicinity tt
| sell their produce, and that Il market ant
market day can bc successfully established
! and maintained.
We sincerely trust that our city COVE rn
! mcnt will cooperate with the Board of Trad,

| bile.

The matter Of the proposed horse stable
on the city market gtound was then made
the subject of spirited discussion. 1t
was shown that the city had other land in
possession which could be used for the
purposes of baru for the city's horses;
and further that it would be stroke OF
economy to buy other land and rent the
market ground for some purpose more
compatible with the location. The follow
ing resolution was adopted unanimously
by rising vote.

farming Doesn't Pay"
Western Plowman.

Western Plowman.
Of course it doesn't. Why should
it? That bank on the corner won't
pay, either. Present your check at
the counter and the teller will polite
ly tell you that there is nothing to
your credit there. Why? Because
you haven't made any deposit. For
the same reason that farm of yours
won't pay you anything. You
haven't kept your account good.
You have been drawing on it con-
stantly and making no deposits, I'M
til now the farm, like the bank, re-
fuses to honor your checks. You
can't fool old Mother Earth. She
conducts her affairs ON business prin-
ciples, and expects to get value in the
shape of industry directed by good
sense and correct judgment, before
she responds to the call for dividends.
Farming doesn't pay, nor does any
thing else pay until you give ii some-
thing to pay with.

Pleasant Phases OF Farm Life.

John Burroughs in Signs and Seasons.
1t is common complaint that the
farm and farm life arenot appreciated
by our people. We long for the more
elegant pursuits or the ways and
fashions of the town. But the farmer
has the most sane and rational oc-
cupation, and ought to find life
sweeter, if less highly seasoned, than
any other. He alone, strictly speak
ing, has a home. How can a man
take root and thrive without land!
He writes his history upon his field.
How many ties, how many resources
he has; his friendships with his cattle,
his teams, his dog, his trees; the sat
isfaction in his growing crops, in his
improved fields, his intimacy with
nature, with bird and beast and the
quickening elemental forces; his CO.
operation with the clouds, the sun,
the seasons, heat, wind, rain, frost.
Nothing will take the various social
distempers which the city and
artificial life breed out of man like
farming, like direct and loving con-
tact with the soil. 1t draws out the
poison. 1t humbles him, teaches him
patience and reverence, and restores
the proper tone to his system.

The Best Tomato Plants.

Prof. E. S. Golf, ofthe New York
Experiment Station, states that toma-
to plants from self-grown seed ripen
into fruit nearly as early as those
started early in the hot-bed. In or
der to discover how much time is
gained in securing ripe fruits by fore
ing the young plants, we planted a
few seeds of the Livingston's Favor
lite tomato in the hills in the open
ground in the garden, on April "a,
placing about ten seeds in each hill.
These had vegetated on May -. No
especial care was given the young
plants, and they were not covered at
any time to protect them from the
frosts. AS they grew large enough
to crowd each other, they were
thinned to one plant in a hill, and
afterward received exactly the same
treatment as the plants that were
transplanted from the hot bed. The
plants from seeds planted in the open
ground, ripened the first fruit, Aug.
81, or 119 days from the planting,
while plants of the same variety re-
moved from the hot bed, planted
March 2S, ripened their first fruit
August Is, or IA days from planting.
In other words, plants grown entire
ly in the open ground matured fruit
in IS days shorter time than those
which were cared for in the hot bed
the first twomonths Of their existence.
The result is certainly striking, and
suggests that the check given to the
plants at the time of transplanting
may have been nearly sufficient to
overbalance the time gained by fore
ing.

Drowned at San Pedro.

Coroner Meredith went to San
Pedro yesterday to hold an inquest on
the body of John Byrnes, who was
found floating in the water by Thomas
Molgard on Saturday afternoon. The
testimony showed that Byrnes, who
was the second engineer of the steam
schooner Emily, of San Francisco, had
been last seen by his comrades on
Tuesday night last. He had been
drinking considerably and when he
started out on the wharf he was un-
der the influence of liquor. When
found he had bruise on his head
and face, which indicated that he had
fallen and injured himself. He prob
ably fell from the wharf, striking on
some of the timbers below and re-
ceiving injuries which incapacitated
him from making an effort to save
himself The Coroner's jury found
that he had come to his death from
accidental drowning. Deceased leaves
a wife and several children in San
Francisco and his wife has been APP
prised by telegraph of the accident.
